MEATBALL MACHINE SYNOPSIS:

Meatball Machine is a wild, splatterific, experimental sci-fi/horror rollercoaster that will have your entire brain and body shaken and stirred. Capable of making biomechanical weapons out of human flesh, alien parasites grotesquely invade the Earth, turning their hosts into maniacal killers who seek and destroy each other to the bloody death! And yes, it’s also a human love story, even though the budding romantics are infested with slimy, tumor-like globules. Codirectors Junichi Yamamoto and Yudai Yamaguchi (Battlefield Baseball) pull out all the stops and don’t let up until the final epic battle. It’s a touching testament to young love, blood, and alien ooze that leaves you screaming for more!

Meatball Machine......the title alone made this a must watch for me without even knowing the plot so when TLA Releasing and Danger After Dark sent me a copy I was quite excited to watch it. For me the asian market had started to get quite dry and stale and to tell you the truth I started to lose interest in it........Well Im happy to say that this film reinvigorated my love for the asian horror/sci-fi films!

 The plot revolves around a lonely factory worker who's quite the social outcast who likes to watch a beautiful woman doing laundry across from the factory during his lunch breaks. During this time he finds a strange shell like thing (after being beaten up by a drag queen after he watches a porno movie) and he takes it home. From there he ends up meeting the mysterious woman and they hit it off, unfortunatly for him the weird shell thing is actually part of an alien plot where they take control of human hosts turning them into weird mixes of biomechanical weapons and human flesh to fight then to the death
